What is the key to a high-performance trauma team?
a. Individual goals
b. Use of TeamSTEPPS
c. Identification of a single decision maker
d. Effective communication
Answ >d. Effective communication Rationale: Skilled communication, cooperation, and coordination
are the cornerstones of high-performance teams and high-quality trauma care (p. 5).
Quiz When obtaining a history for an injured patient, understanding the kinematic concepts associated
with the mechanism of injury and energy transfer can initially assist the trauma provider in:
a. Evaluating and anticipating the types of injury that may be present
b. Deciding whether law enforcement should be notified
c. Determining needed laboratory tests
d. Predicting the need for a surgical procedure
Answ >a. Evaluating and anticipating the types of injury that may be present Rationale: Mechanism of
injury and energy transfer can assist the provider in evaluating and anticipating damage (p. 23).
, Quiz The major preventable cause of death in the trauma patient is:
a. Airway compromise
b. Ineffective ventilation
c. Secondary head injury
d. Uncontrolled hemorrhage

a. Assess for uncontrolled internal hemorrhage
b. Accurately triage the patient
c. Reprioritize circulation before airway or breathing
d. Activate the trauma team
Answ >c. Reprioritize circulation before airway or breathing. Rationale: The across-the-room
observation is done at the beginning of the primary survey to rapidly assess the need to reprioritize
circulation before airway or breathing. This is done if uncontrolled external hemorrhage is identified (p.
28).
Quiz Which of the following accurately describes ventilation principles associated with a bag-mask
device?
a. Ventilate at a rate of 10 to 12 breaths/minute
b. Deliver 100% oxygen
c. Compress the bag-mask device completely
d. Maintain the oxygen saturation level between 92% and 94%
